I met two lovely sisters ruchika & rachna who decided embark to kutch, Ruchika a textile designer, rachna a software engineer by profession. After quitting her corporate job he USA was on a journey to India to research & find out the social structure of women inorder to develop a business model which would impact & contribute to the empowerment of women in India.
On the other hand rachna with her experience in textiles had explored earlier on a project with the jodhpur blockprinters & was eager to know more about the ajrakh block printers of Kutch as they stumbled upon our blog
After understanding the travelers interest i design the craft tour in the most unique way making sure they can take back more than they expected. I had a lovely time with these young ladies watching interacting with some local artisans, meeting ngos, relishing local food, sunsets with shyamji bhai in bhujodi kutch, capturing childrens costumes & accesorries, bumping into a newly wed bride and endless adventures…..
i tell you ever journey is unique as unique people join us every year ….

About Me
Hi, I am Neha - an artist, a potter and a crafts' lover. My travails with arts and crafts began by dabbling with paint and colour since my teens Studying Fine Arts at Sir J.J School of Arts , Mumbai and then Studio pottery at Golden Bridge Pottery, Pondicherry intensified my love for the subject and honed my skills as well. I embarked on my journey by working extensively in Gujarat and Maharshtra. My own contributions and learnings from others helped me gain myriad experiences and sharpen a multiple set of skills in the sector. Now based in Mumbai, I continue with the passion to express my creativity through arts and crafts.... through 'Matsya'. This blog is about Matsya and our journey has begun...........

The trip to Kutch was simply amazing. Too much to write in a few words. Neha was greatly helpful in arranging the trip and the visit to the artisans. We got to go around knowing we were in good hands. I would highly recommend the craft tour for craft lovers all over.
